Greater Crops CONDITIONS in the farming industry are the broad-gauged barometers of general business in the United States. When crops are good prosperity is general. It is obvious, therefore, that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) can turn its facilities and talents to no more important task than that of assisting the farmer to secure a greater crop return per acre. The experience of the past ten or fifteen years has demonstrated that farms where automotive equipment is used are operated on a lower cost level and with a higher crop return than is the case where animal power is used. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is doing its utmost to promote the use of motorized machinery on the farm. Throughout ten middle western states this Company maintains a system of distribution which insures the fanner a dependable supply of gasoline, kerosene, lubricants and other products of petroleum at ail time 9. In this territory the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) maintains 3,780 bulk stations, out of which some 7,000 trucks and tank wagons carry its products to the farmer’s home or if necessary to the tractor in the field. This is one of the services which only a big organization could perform and it is a service n. worth while. •a V ..... \ '■ ' the reaching benefits of motorfarm equfprnCnf, it is on'y necessary to state that farm proppfty-values in the United States have increased from forty billions of dollars in 1910 to eighty-five billions in 1920 —an advance of 107% for a ten-year period. The service performed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been a factor of importance in making this increase possible. Standard Oil Company , (Indiana) 910 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago
